Well I bought a seconhand Tp 770 in November 2000 and I've been using it
as my home gateway 24/7 ever since. I use it as my firewall, mail server
and Asterisk pbx. It's only got a 233MHz Pentium II in it and it now 
struggles a bit with Spamassassin. I think I might have to update it
some time next year. I'm looking at one of those intel atom 330 itx
boards.
